We were part of another modernity

Abstract

The following text will tell the individual and colective changes that four female professors went through during the student movement from 1968 in Mexico. It will dissect these changes from the national perspective, their individual formation, the feeling of their profesional work, their private relationships and their involvement in other social and political movements. Just like the new meaning adquire by the sense of their lives, in a cultural context where change had a central role in their choices. And new features were developed to conceptualize the new modernity as a social transformation project in the near future.

We need to point that the analysis will be sustained in Oral History methodology, giving the generating source priority over others that will also be considered, like the hemerographic and bibliographic. At last we have to mention that this was the result of a colective investigation with a group of fellows Eric Arellano, Pablo Bonilla, Angel Castilla and Ricardo Chávez from the Investigation Institute “Doctor José Ma. Luis Mora,” proposing the reasons that some professors solidarize with the movement, nevertheless have differences with the strategy and ideas, but as they watched the brutal represion the students suffered, they didn´t hesitate to support them.
